Assistant Manager

As Assistant Manager, you’ll be at the heart of our management team helping to ensure the smooth running of a busy pub. From the moment you step through the door, you lead by example making sure our Customers, and teams, have a great time. 

Join us at Metro Pubs, where our pubs are at the heart of city life, striving to provide a home away from home for both locals and visitors to the capital alike. All of our pubs are individual and unbranded, each embodying its own personality and character. We’re the place to laugh with friends, to spend quality time with family, and to enjoy all that is great about a community pub – the food, the drink, the service and the atmosphere.

The Merchant of Battersea isn't your everyday run of the mill pub. With a significant investment in refurbishing the business. The Merchant as we call it, is all about having fun. In the daytime you might be kicking back and watching the Match on one of 10 screens, or you might be on the terrace with a cocktail watching the world go by. 

When the sun goes down is when The Merchant really kicks it up a gear with Live Music and DJs at the weekend. It's time to "shake off those working week troubles" by hitting the dancefloor. There's nothing we like to do more than dance like nobody is watching.

To help the party vibes we have our carefully curated cocktail menu, along with fine wines and beers from some of the latest up and coming craft breweries.

Were big on events, and like to have fun with out guests, it might be Football Bingo, Spin to Win, or beat the bartender. We dont take ourselves too seriously, were here to have a great time with our guests, they are like our extended family.
